After [[Mario]], [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Parakarry]], [[Bow]], [[Watt]], [[Sushie]] and [[Lakilester]] rescued them, they gave them a special power called [[Star Beam]], which is used to neutralize the effects of the Star Rod, and also a [[Star Cruiser|ship]] that they can use to travel to [[Bowser's Keep|Bowser's Castle]]. During the final battle with Bowser, due to the effects of Bowser's [[Power Platform]], their Star Beam didn't work against the renegade reptile, that is until Star Beam was upgraded to [[Peach Beam]] when [[Twink]] helped Mario out in the battle.
The '''Star Spirits''' are a group of seven powerful [[Star (species)|stars]] that first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Consisting of [[Eldstar]], [[Mamar]], [[Skolar]], [[Muskular]], [[Misstar]], [[Klevar]] and [[Kalmar]], the Star Spirits are led by Eldstar.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the Star Spirits are being held captive by the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Corps]] after [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] stole their precious [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and turned them into playing cards, in retaliation for their ignoring Bowser's selfish [[wish]]es.


==The Star Spirits' Powers==
After [[Mario]] and his new friends rescue all of them, they give him a special power called [[Star Beam]], which is used to neutralize the effects of the Star Rod, and a [[Star Ship|ship]] that they can use to travel to [[Bowser's Castle]]. During the final battle with Bowser, due to the effects of Bowser's [[Power Platform]], their Star Beam does not work against him, triggering a side battle with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Twink]] against Kammy Koopa. After Peach and Twink have defeated Kammy, the Star Beam is upgraded to [[Peach Beam]], giving Mario a second chance at a victory against Bowser and to recover the Star Rod.

==Trivia==
==Notes==
*The Prima Strategy Guide for ''Mario Party 5'' states that the game is the first appearance of the Star Spirits, ignoring their debut in ''Paper Mario''.
*In the American English version of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[Starlow]] erroneously refers to herself as a representative of the Star Spirits, when she is actually a member of the [[Star (species)|Star Sprites]].
* The Star Spirits and [[Goomboss]] are the only characters to originate in a ''[[Paper Mario (disambiguation)|Paper Mario]]'' game and appear again in 3D.
 
* The Star Spirits have visible mouths when they speak in ''Paper Mario'', however, they lack mouths in ''Mario Party 5''.

“When you look at the night sky, you'll know that the glittering stars are praising you for your courage.”
Skolar, Paper Mario

The Star Spirits are a group of seven powerful stars that first appear in Paper Mario. Consisting of Eldstar, Mamar, Skolar, Muskular, Misstar, Klevar and Kalmar, the Star Spirits are led by Eldstar.

History[edit]

In Paper Mario, the Star Spirits are being held captive by the Koopa Corps after Bowser and Kammy Koopa stole their precious Star Rod and turned them into playing cards, in retaliation for their ignoring Bowser's selfish wishes.

After Mario and his new friends rescue all of them, they give him a special power called Star Beam, which is used to neutralize the effects of the Star Rod, and a ship that they can use to travel to Bowser's Castle. During the final battle with Bowser, due to the effects of Bowser's Power Platform, their Star Beam does not work against him, triggering a side battle with Princess Peach and Twink against Kammy Koopa. After Peach and Twink have defeated Kammy, the Star Beam is upgraded to Peach Beam, giving Mario a second chance at a victory against Bowser and to recover the Star Rod.

The following list of Star Spirits are as follows:
